German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said today that the EU is ready to negotiate with US to settle the aircraft subsidies disputes. Yet, EU is also ready to react to new US tariffs on European goods. He said “the European Union now will have to react and, after obtaining the approval of the World Trade Organisation, probably impose punitive tariffs as well.”
Maas also tweeted, “Europe is united on this question. We remain ready to negotiate common rules for subsidies in the aviation industry. We can still prevent further damage.”
